Afc aero manuals found. This one june 1917 hispano-suiza

Hello everyone. A while ago i was lucky enough to obtain a box of ww1 aircraft related manuals and photos that were under an old rainwater tank stand. They all belonged to an australian flying corp mechanic. His name is on most of them, r r campbell no. 2683.
This is one of them dated june 1917.

15 years ago i was offered a trunk that belonged to albert packer who was an afc pilot with number 4 squadron in 1918. He ended up flying sopwith snipes. The items in this trunk were going to be sold separately at the time but i was not going to let that happen, so i bought the lot. This trunk was full of interesting items from the time including his afc notebooks from oxford, photographs, flying helmet, goggles etc, as well as a lot of old aircraft manuals.
The group photo shows a. Packer circled.
